todays short spin….

Posted on Sunday, April 27, 2008 in Training

Greetings Readers!

Chores, that was the word of the day. Trying to cram in a lot of chores while the weather holds because next week is more rain. I had little time left today to ride, so I twisted mom’s (wifey) arm and we went out for a short spin.

Riding with mom was ideal for a recovery ride, we just spun along and loosened up the legs. Which buy the way felt like anvils on pedals after climbing yesterday. Although short, it was a really nice ride. I would have liked to have doubled, even tripled the mileage, but I just didn’t have the time today.

After 5 straight days of riding I rest tomorrow to let the legs recover. Followed by another rest day on Tuesday because of a doctor’s appt. I’ll hit the bike again on Wednesday and commute thru Friday.

I did find this old pic from last year at Estacada, I like it cuz I appear to be totally focused. Oh contrare my friends, I was deep in survival mode. I prolly lost 4 spots that last lap………. I suffered more at Estacada than any other race I did last season.  Yup, the old gentlemans slide, I was dropping fast. This year will be different Folks!
